Any general feedback from those who do run them please.
I have those exact tires and studded.. Tires are great in the snow and for plowing. I run 6k of sand in the back in the winter. I try not to spin the tires so as to not dislodge the studs. 2 winters and no problems . My guess is I will get 6 or more winters out of them..All I do is plow in the winter..Studs don't really do much even with all 4 tires grabbing but they do something for sure. I plow steep hills so I need all I can get..
